The U16s, who had recovered, did not practice as much as they did on the second day of the game, just some relaxed passing and control training.

is also such a group of players, the movements are still those actions, Rong Yu checked the physical data of the players for a long time and found no abnormalities, but he always felt that it was still different.

"The spirit is different, and I have grown up......"

Lin Wenlei saw Rong Yu's hard work in finding differences, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

Rong Yu looked at it carefully, and it was really like this. The players are more restrained, more serious, and much more focused, which is not very different from the body monitoring data, but you can see the change from before at a glance.

In the few days of rest, because of the previous defeat, it caused a lot of controversy, and under the impetus of well-intentioned people, it also caused discussion and reflection on Jiang Yan's flame training methods. There are also fans who lament that the team, like other Chinese teams, is just a flash in the pan and no longer has hope.

But the team has regained its calm with Lin Wenlei's extreme training, and can ignore the noise of some media.

The main focus within the squad is the squad for the next day's Under-16 tie against Atletico, with a desire to re-prove themselves in the game.

“…… The starters are: forwards Meng Xihe, Zhao Yao, Sun Letian. Midfielders Fan Hua, Zheng Zhi, Lin Chuncheng. Defenders Gan Rong, Xia Jixuan, Sheikh. Goalkeeper Wei Haiming......"

Lin Wenlei announced the start, and immediately Sun Ge, Rong Shi, Cai Rongyu, Ning Wu, and An Shidao were all obviously disappointed.

The five of them are all players who were removed from the starting line-up, and the difference between the main substitutes under Lin Wenlei in the past was not obvious, and no one paid attention to this.

But this time it was the players who were replaced after the loss, not only could they not be ashamed, but the players couldn't help but wonder if Lin Wenlei was disappointed in them, or Lin Wenlei thought that they were responsible for the loss, and their hearts were full of disappointment and apprehension.

The most obvious is Cai Rongyu, who lost his spirit after listening to the announcement, and sat on the court after the disbandment and did not leave.

"Rongyu, I have to admit that I miscalculated the speed with which my opponent discovered your weakness. I won't let you play until I've solved your psychological effects and found a way to do it, can you understand me?"

Cai Rongyu hugged his knees, nodded with his head down, and said:

"I understand, who made me so unproductive......"

Cai Rongyu agreed with Lin Wenlei's statement with a crying voice, and his whole body trembled with crying.

Lin Wenlei stretched out his hand and patted Cai Rongyu's back, hesitated again and again but didn't say much comforting words.

August 28th

The semi-finals of Jiangxia U16 against Atletico Madrid U16 were held at the Youth Stadium.

Although a loss lost a lot of fans, it reflected that the youth stadium was not obvious, and the stadium with 12,000 people was still full, and the fans cheered and cheered loudly from the beginning of the warm-up.

"Actually, the fans are the cutest thing, unless you don't fight, or you keep losing, you will always cheer for the players game after game. Especially our Chinese fans, their requirements are really not high. ”

Lin Wenlei's evaluation made the players agree very much, and they all nodded violently, and then made up their minds to play this game well.

During the warm-up, I saw my former teammates Su Wu, Sono and Lu Yinuo, and the three of them also ran to Lin Wenlei's side as soon as they entered the field, hugged Lin Wenlei first, and then joked with each other......

After the start of the game, no matter Su Wu, Sono, and Lu Yinuo did not relax, Su Wu easily shook Zheng Zhi after taking the ball, and then passed Lin Chuncheng with a beautiful tail flick, handed the ball to Sono and formed a very threatening shot.

Although the fans at the scene applauded Su Wu's beauty, they were still worried about Jiangxia U16 in their hearts.

At the beginning of this invitational match, the fans were very relieved about Jiangxia U16's defense, but after the tragedy of scoring 4 goals against PSV Eindhoven last time, they were bottomless.

However, Atletico Madrid's U16 felt different, Jiangxia U16 gave them a lot of pressure, Jiangxia U16 dared to physically fight and foul at the beginning, and there were a lot of off-ball running strategies, and the attack was very sharp.

After a few rounds, Jiangxia U16 no longer had any nervousness, and the passing and running positions became more and more active, and in the 15th minute, Zheng Zhizhi scored a goal from Meng Xi and the anti-offside position.

In the 26th minute, Lin Chuncheng suddenly stepped forward, broke the ball in the middle circle, and immediately knocked back Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi took the ball straight into the penalty area, and passed the feint to Zhao Yao, who ran out of the vacancy, deceived the defender to flash the angle, and shot the goal with one kick.

Next, as soon as Atletico kicked off, Su Wu made a long pass directly into the penalty area, Sono headed the ball, and another winger broke the goal. The goal was scored entirely by taking advantage of Jiangxia's slack after the U16 goal.

At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Lu Yinuo made a long pass to the No. 7 winger, and then cut inside by No. 7, and passed continuously with Sono and Su Wu on the outside of the arc of the penalty area, completely tearing apart the defense of Jiangxia U16, and the No. 11 striker on the periphery scored a goal to tie the score.

What makes Lin Wenlei happiest is that Jiangxia U16 has matured a lot, and after accidentally losing the ball, he chose to recycle and control the rhythm, first stabilized his emotions and position, and then continued to play the game with a clear eye.

In the 25th minute of the second half, Jiangxia U16 launched a textbook counterattack, the ball began to pass from the defensive line layer by layer, accurate and fast, and finally by Sun Letian crossed from the bottom, Meng Xi and a leak, and Zhao Yao outflanked the goal goal.

3：2

Then Jiangxia U16 started to defend again, not giving Atletico U16 a chance, and played a few beautiful counterattacks.

The most exciting one appeared in the 32nd minute of the second half, Xia Jixuan suddenly stepped forward with the ball as a central defender, so that Atletico Madrid's U16 tight defense instantly appeared a loophole, hit the wall several times, and suddenly passed a long pass in the middle circle and handed the ball to Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao dribbled the ball inside the penalty area, quickly shook off the defense, and then came to a fake shot and a real pass, handed the ball to Meng Xihe, and he forced a turn and shot in the penalty area.

The football bounced back after hitting the post, and Fan Hua grabbed the shot before the defender cleared the ball, and actually hit the crossbar again......

In the end, Jiangxia U16 defeated Atletico Madrid with a score of 3:2 and entered the final of the Jiangxia International Youth Invitational Tournament.

After the referee blew the final whistle, the whole stadium was boiling.

The players were also very excited to defeat Atletico Madrid, which is known as the strongest in the invitational tournament, and broke out with fierce emotions and ran all over the field to celebrate.

After winning this game, all the voices that criticized the Jiangxia Flame Club were honest, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the next opportunity.

The final match of the tournament, the championship and runner-up match, is also the last game of the summer for the players, and will face the winner of the other semi-final on September 1 to end this fulfilling football holiday.

So there was no rest in the afternoon, and the whole team went to the scene to watch Leverkusen's 2-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven, and learned about the opponent in the final - Leverkusen U16.
